"Besides, you don’t work for a dollar – you work
to create and have fun."   Walt Disney

As an experienced Senior HR Manager, I draw from my curiosity about people, cultures and relationship systems, and from my passion for travel. I feel tremendously fortunate to have been able to learn, grow and work with more than 500,000 employees in a collaborative environment at the globally successful Deutsche Post DHL for almost 25 years. In my areas of responsibility in a company that is certified as a “Great Place to Work®”, I can take on roles that reflect my personal passions, topics and values – all of which come down to Connecting People. Improving Lives. This is something for which I’m truly grateful.

Being nominated by my Indian HR partner teams to speak on the topic of Organisational Transformation@DHL at the Global HR Conference in Mumbai in 2017 was one of the highlights of my international career. I perceived the Global HR Excellence Award I received there as special recognition for the work I’ve done over the years.

Creating and living out global social connections

By establishing and personally cultivating networks and partnerships, I connect both individuals and teams to enable constructive, open-minded collaboration. Cross-country and cross-culture. Cross-division and cross-sector. Cross-role and cross-topic. With this approach, I create sustainable social connections and platforms that enable strategies and goals to be developed and implemented jointly in open and trusting dialogue with diverse teams. This occurs first and foremost with a sense of joy and fun in our joint work and successes.

Implementing international topics on a national scale

I support my business partners, stakeholders and various HR teams, providing pragmatic solutions to help them achieve their business goals. Working with my teams, I’m committed to adapting the global or centralized programs and processes developed in line with the corporate strategy to fit the respective country’s conditions and cultures in a way that fosters their acceptance and makes them applicable to local needs. Using target group-focused communication, we involve local managers and HR teams in strategically relevant topics, providing them with hands-on support – and also training and coaching – in the creation of implementation plans and solutions to ensure sustainable execution and experience of the strategy while taking account of the situation on site.

Developing potential, activating resources, gaining strength from lifelong learning

My business partners perceive me as a trustworthy, value-oriented sparring partner with an open, positive mindset who delivers excellence in the form of reliability, a solution-centric approach and the creation and use of networks. As a modern, witty, entertaining leader, I’m at my best when spreading enthusiasm, inspiration and positive energy – and when helping my employees, partners and stakeholders to use their own strengths and resources to discover and exploreenjoyable, successful, fulfilling paths for themselves. My defining values are being and remaining strong by engaging in lifelong learning, showing and taking initiative, and activating the resources we have at hand.
